The best stuff ever in the whole entire world for hip, happening ladies!

More of the popular guy goods today! Take it away Tim…

Tingles! Like that old Selsun Blue commercial says, if it tingles, that means its working.  Guys are extra dirty compared to the fairer species and that means we need stuff with extra cleaning power.  Nothing makes you feel more clean and refreshed than tingling from head to toe.  Also, I’m a shower every morning guy, not just because I’m dirty but also because I don’t really wake up until I shower.  Here’s one of my favorite ‘tingly’ products:

American Crew Citrus Mint Shampoo.  OK, normally $10 is more than I would like to spend on shampoo.  However, it is easy to find because a lot of grocery stores carry American Crew and we’re guys, we don’t use much shampoo anyway.

For some reason that I simply cannot explain, I have really been feeling pink again lately. I think my last flash of pink items in my wardrobe were probably purchased about 8 years ago. A cyclical fashion trends rears its head once again!

I was also thinking cozy cute cardigan, so I thought this! A new J.Crew cardigan. And it is in pink champagne…so light and so lovely that even a pink-hater could wear it happily.

Right before I woke up this morning I was having a dream about happily owning a boutique full of cool gifty things, clothing, make-up and nail polish. Can’t get the pink nail polish out of my head! Here is my lovely pick from butter LONDON. Not only is Snog (that’s the colour’s name) just a totally righteous pink color, but the company does not use any nasty chemicals that screw with our bodies. All the more reason to think pink!

Will I ever get sick of old Asian rice and feed bags being reused to create exotic products for us Westerners? I think not.

Earth friendly and they look cool. Check out these storage hampers…cool way to organize your junk.

My friend Joy and I totally fell for the tricks of a lying salesperson at the Neiman Marcus in San Francisco. We decided we needed to take a quick perusal one day and were stopped by those perfume spraying ladies. Okay, fine, we’ll take a little squirt.

“This Prada perfume is sold here exclusively, no where else in the world!” Whatever.

So we were off walking around the store and probably not 20 yards when we realized we kept smelling ourselves over and over, and we liked it.

Okay, dart back to the spray lady where she promptly upsold us to a larger size. After all, not only was the scent magnificent, we would be among the few women in the world who could wear it.

Well, let me tell you, I do not regret the purchase. Not one single bit. But let me also tell you, NOT EXCLUSIVE to that Neiman Marcus. I’ve seen it all over the place. Still does not diminish the fact that Prada Infusion D’Iris is my favorite perfume. I intend to buy more and more through the coming years. But don’t you think that lady was a bit unethical?

Check out the fantastic customized drink koozie Lani and Topher gave out at their wedding this summer. A fantastic party favor if I ever saw one. The possibilites are endless!

*See Lani’s previous GleePeeks here and here.

Yes, I am afraid to admit that there was a day when I couldn’t understand the two-toned juxtaposition in jewelry. But then John Hardy changed my life. I love John Hardy jewelry, I truly do.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail really get me. Like a lot of his gorgeous jewelry, the bracelet below has carefully handcrafted scene on the inside, in this particular case, Balinese temple dancers. It is like having a secret inside your luxuriously beautiful jewelry. Something for only you to see. Did I mention that I LOVE John Hardy?

This two-toned (yellow gold and silver) cuff bracelet is a beautiful example of the clean modern lines, often chunky in size, style of this high-end designer. Just make sure to make your purchases from a licensed retailer so you know you are getting the real goods!

Friday Guy Day, once again. And with that some more help from my friend Tim! (see last week’s guy post here – it was a MAJOR hit)

Neutrogena Men Triple Protect Face Lotion w/ SPF 20: A lady friend recently asked me “Do you use face lotion, and if yes, how can I get my husband to wear face lotion?”.  Well, 90% of them out there are crap.  I’m talking about face lotions not husbands.  If they are too greasy or thick it sweats right off your face.   You need something that goes on light and is absorbed by your skin. Seriously, I expect to look better at 50 than I do now and the one thing that will make that possible is a face lotion with SPF.  A lot of guys might use after shave, but that just removes moisture (or your common crappy ones do).  That said, this one soothes razor burn, smells manly and is very light.  A little goes a long way too. – Tim

Seriously, no joke, I love this lotion. My friend Kristin used to bring me samples from this upscale baby store she worked at on occasion.

I have sensitive skin so I have to concern myself with the type of lotion I get or unfortunate results ensue. Md Moms Baby Silk is definitely the best moisturizer I’ve come across.

Smell is always huge with me, and as it is meant for babies, it is a light scent that doesn’t impair perfume. And it is quite delightful on its own…I get compliments all the time.

So many times a light, sensitive lotion doesn’t actually feel like it is moisturizing. Mind you me, not the case here. I highly recommend for adults and wee ones alike. A little more pricey than your drug store choice, but worth the splurge.

I was thinking that since it is fall I should post a good sweater find, but alas, I have yet to come across one.

In my looking about, I instead happened to come across this darling little black dress. And we all know that those are useful the whole year through.

I think it just has such a beautiful cut and I am digging the details like the little clippy thing on the strap. I don’t know how a woman could not feel like a seductress in this 100% silk little number. Plus, it seems like it could easily swing casual or elegant. Even toss it on over some pants if necessary. I covet.

Some day, when I have a real home, I want this lighting! So beautiful and a fit for most decor. Luckily, I have an eclectic style so it won’t be hard to integrate. Some day.
